Can plastic surgery correct a protruding or uneven jawline?

Yes, plastic surgery can be used to correct a protruding or uneven jawline. There are several surgical procedures available to address jawline issues and achieve a more balanced facial appearance. Here are a few common options:

  • Jaw Contouring: Jaw contouring surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, can be performed to correct a protruding or misaligned jaw. This procedure involves reshaping the jaw bones to achieve a more harmonious facial profile. It may involve reducing the size of a prominent or oversized jaw (mandible reduction) or repositioning the jaw to correct an underbite or overbite.
  • Chin Augmentation or Reduction: Chin augmentation or reduction surgery can help improve the appearance of the jawline by addressing issues with the chin's size, projection, or symmetry. A chin implant or filler injections can be used to enhance a weak or recessed chin, while chin reduction surgery can involve reshaping or reducing the size of an overly prominent chin.
  • Buccal Fat Pad Removal: In some cases, a full or rounded lower face can contribute to an uneven or less defined jawline. Buccal fat pad removal is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat from the cheeks to create a slimmer facial appearance and enhance the definition of the jawline.
  • Liposuction or Neck Lift: Excess fat deposits under the chin or in the neck area can contribute to an uneven or less defined jawline. Liposuction or a neck lift procedure can be performed to remove the excess fat and tighten the underlying muscles, resulting in a more sculpted and defined jawline.
